This document page (stamped House Oversight) details the timeline in early 2013 when Edward Snowden (alias 'Citizen 4') successfully convinced journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras of his legitimacy. It describes Snowden's anonymous communications, his misleading description of his role at the NSA (while working for Dell), and the journalists' agreement to publish the leaks in The Guardian. The text also notes that while the journalists believed they were exposing domestic spying, Snowden was simultaneously stealing documents regarding foreign operations from the National Threat Operations Center.
